TELELAlN OR SHAFT-OILER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,434, dated November 9, 1886.

Application led February 1, ISES. Serial No. 190,512.

To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ORRIs H. WARREN, of Syracuse, Onondaga county, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Telelain Oilers, by which term I herein designate my instrument for oiling bearings, 85o., at a distance, ko1" which the following is a description.

My present improvement is in the construction of certain parts and their relative positions and arrangement, by which Iam enabled to control the iiow of oil with accuracy when holding the telelain in any position for oiling bearings situated above or below the person using the instrument, or in positions otherwise inaccessible.

In the following description of the construction of the apparatus Irefer to the accompanying drawings, in whichj Figure l is a sectional view through the center lengthwise. Fig. 2 is a plan of the base of the oil-reservoir. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the pump-chamber and inlet-valve. Fig. 4 is an end view of the pump, showing the handle in place with the spring attached; Figs. 5 and 6, sections of the coupling-joint of the discharge-tip attached to the delivery-pipe ofthe p oiler-tnbe; Fig. 7, asection of a modification of the oiler.

The same letters of reference are used to indicate like parts in all'the figures.

The terms designating relative position refer to the instrument when held upright, as'shown in Fig. 1, with the discharge-tip at the top and the handle below, although in use the instrument is often reversed, to reach downward as well as upward, in which position it works equally well as in any other positionin which it can be held.

The three principal parts or divisions of thel (No model.)

reservoir to the point of discharge are attached. i

The body, as above defined, I make in sections, described as follows: The oil-chamber, Fig. l, A, may consist of a shallowoil-vessel of convenient shape, here shown tubular, the lower part of which is expanded out laterally at its base, as seen in the drawings, (see Fig. 2,) the chamber being of sufticientdiameter and length to be conveniently handled and to contribute materially to the length of the body, and yet to bring the bulk of the oil near the base.

To the top of the cylindrical tube or oilchamber A is attached a coupling-box B, by

which boX anothersection, B', of the body is aiiixed to the top of the oil-chamber, with a packing between the parts. To the opposite end of section B is attached another couplingbox, by which it is connected with another section, D,also constructed with a couplingbox attached at each end. The sections thus constructed may be of anylcngth and number desired, and the top section may be made tapering, as shown in Fig. 1. rIhe several sections united constitute the body or pole of the instrument, as above defined.

Under the base-plate of the oil-chamber (see Figs. 1, 2) the pump F is adixed horizontally by means of a coupling-plate,with which the pump-barrel is combined. This pumpbarrel is closed at its outer end bya screw-cap, and a partition, J, divides its chamber into two parts, with a hole through the center of the partition, forming a valve-seat. The outer end of the pump-barrel is enlarged in the bore, with a beveled shoulder at the junction, and into this enlargement a collar, I, fits,with its inner end similarly beveled to form a V-shaped recess,into which a proper packing is put around the piston, which is of the size ci the bore of the pump, projects beyond the barrel of the pump, and is terminated by a thumb-piece at its end, by means of which it is pressed inward. To the inner end of the piston is affixed a stem that passes through the port in the partition J, and has a valve, K, made upon its end, so that when the piston is drawn out by the spring O, hereinafter described, the valve K is broughtup to its seat and closes the port inpartition J.

Aroinid the pump-barrel a frame is fastened IOO to the base, to which the handle H is alixed below thepump-barrel. There is a fulcrumpin, P, in this frame, around which a looped spring, O, is coiled. The two ends of this spring bear against the collar I, one on each side, as seen in Figs. 1 and 4, and after two or .three turns around the fulcrum-pin P the loop is brought up and made to bear against the projection on the outer end of the piston, so as to force it outward against the'resistance of the collar I, upon which the ends of the spring bear and hold the collar in place, to make, by means of the packing, an oil-tight joint around the piston.

In the base of the OiIchamber A are two valve-chambers thatbpen into the barrel of the pump, one on each side of the partition J. The inlet-valve chamber L opens` into that part of the pump-chamber nearestthe end, the valve allowing the oil to flow from the reservoir into the pumpchamber, but not in the opposite direction. The outlet valve chamber M is connected by a valved orifice with' that part of the pump-chamber containing the piston, the valve allowing the oil to flow out from the pump-chamber, but not to return into it. A conducting-tube, C, is connected with the valve-chamber M,and extends up to the coupling-box B,where it is aiixed to an orifice in the center of the coupling. Each section of the body B and D, te., that may be atl ached incloses a small tube, c, afiixed at each end to an orifice in the coupling-box, so that when the sections are properly connected thesmall tubes c c form a conduit for oil from the valve-chamber M to the opposite end of the body.

To the top of the body is joined the delivery pipe or nozzle e, forming a continuation of the oil-conduit, the connection being made by means of a union coupling, u, lwhich allows the. delivery-pipe to be adjusted and held in position (after the several sections of the body have been joined together) in the proper position in relation to that of the handle H. The delivery-pipe is curved, as shown in the drawings, and to its upper end is attached an adjustable discharge-tip, N, for the purpose of changing the direction of the discharge of oill pa coupling which will allow the discharge-tip A'to be turned about radially on its aXis around the center joint without interrupting the oilpassage. This coupling I make as follows: On the end of the delivery-pipe e, I aftix a metal piece, V, Fig. 6, of cylindrical vform, having an annular groove cut in its face and a boss projecting from its center. Into this groove the deliverypipe opens through an orifice at the side. The discharge-tip N has a similar metal section, WV, attached to it, which iits onto the center boss, and is faced up against section V, and is held in place by a center screw, W', that unites them. By placing the discharge-tip against a shaft, a hanger, an oilbox, or in the entrance of an oil-hole, it may E, such as is described in my patent of January 5, 1886.

Thus constructed, my telelain can be used to oil in any position, and the .quantity of oil discharged by the pump .may be determined by the adjustment of a set-screw, S, under the barrel of the pump, regulating the stroke of the piston. When the piston is thrown outward by the spring O, the valve K closes the port in partition J between the chambers of the pump and cuts off the How of oil between them, Ithus preventing any drip from the discharge-tip when it is extended downward.

This telelain is made seven feet (more or less) long, with perfect action,and can be.

lengthened or shortened by varying the length or number of the sections used to form it. All the working parts of the telelain can be readily come at. The removing of the pump from the baseuncovers the valves at L M, and unscrewing the cap of the pump uncovers the valve K, which can then be disconnected from the piston and the parts all separated without disturbing the oil-reservoir or tube-sections.

The telelain can be disjointed at the sections for packing, for transportation, or for extending or decreasing itslength without disturbing its working parts.

A modification of the base of the oil-chamber and pump can be made, as seen in Fig. 7. When the telelain is desired for oiling bearings overhead only, the base in that case may be made round and the pump shortened by the omission of the cap, &c.

I do not claim forming the oil reservoir or body or" an oiler and the spout or oiling-tube in separate parts and screwing the same together, as that is a Well-known device in oilers; but f What I do claim is- Y 1. A telelain for oiling machinery, having the body thereof, as hereindeined, made in sections united by separable couplings, as described. Y

2. The combination of the sectional parts of the conducting-tube c c cwith the couplingboxes of the corresponding body-sections, all being united by the same coupling-joint, as specified. f

3. The combination of the pump with the oil-reservoir A, by means of a coupling-plate covering the valves of the pump, so that by detaching the coupling-plate lthe valves of chambers L M are uncovered.

4.. The combination ofthe collar Iand spring O with the pump-barrel, packing, and piston, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

5. The valved port J, situated between the inlet and outlet valves of the pump, and controlling the passage between them by the valve K, attached to the pump-piston, by which it is actuated.
